I'm glad people started talking about soldering- its a much
under-reviewed topic.
From discussion with Paul Schreiber as well as my own knowledge from
my checkered soldering past I've come to the following technique:
PCBs: Kester 331 Organic- and washing with Techspray pure Isopropol
Alcohol
Pots and jacks: Kester 245 No Clean - no cleaning
Soldering Station: Weller WES-51 iron with an ETS 1" conical tip
Temp: 700F
Was it suit and Tie Guy that said he works at 750F?
Anyone else want to suggest optimal technique?
Any opinions on soldering from the TOP of the dual sided PCB vs bottom?
Dwell time?
